Hubble Constant Puzzle Deepens as Supernova and CMB Measurements Clash
Astronomers are testing a new way to measure the universe’s expansion rate using the gravitational-wave background detected by NANOGrav. By treating the cosmic hum from merging supermassive black holes as a statistical “stochastic siren,” researchers hope to calculate the Hubble constant and help resolve the long-standing Hubble tension betwe...

Microsoft Project Silica Can Preserve Terabytes of Data in Glass for 10,000 Years Without Power
Microsoft’s Project Silica demonstrates that digital data can be stored in ordinary borosilicate glass for over 10,000 years. Using femtosecond lasers, researchers encode information as microscopic 3D voxels, achieving densities of 4.8 terabytes on a 2mm sheet. Unlike magnetic tapes or hard drives that degrade within decades, glass resists heat, ...

DNA Cassette Tapes Could Transform the Future of Digital Storage
Researchers in China have developed a DNA “cassette tape” that stores data at densities far beyond current drives. By encoding digital files into DNA strands embedded on tape, the system allows compact, sustainable archival storage. A 100-meter DNA tape could hold 36 petabytes, reshaping the future of data centers.

Apple Releases Depth Pro, an Open Source Monocular Depth Estimation AI Model
Apple has released several open-source artificial intelligence (AI) models this year. These are mostly small language models designed for a specific task. Adding to the list, the Cupertino-based tech giant has now released a new AI model dubbed Depth Pro. It is a vision model that can generate monocular depth maps of any image. This technology is u...

Woolly Mammoth Comeback? Science Might Revive Extinct Species by 2028
The ambitious field of de-extinction is inching closer to reality with companies like Colossal Biosciences leading the charge. The company aims to revive extinct species such as the woolly mammoth by 2028. Their method involves transferring mammoth genes, which encode traits like shaggy fur and curved tusks, into the DNA of Asian elephants. Despite...

New Study Reveals the Brain Stores Multiple Copies of Every Memory
Recent research sheds new light on how the brain stores and manages memories, revealing that it maintains at least three distinct copies of each memory. This study, conducted on rodents, provides valuable insights into the brain's memory encoding process and suggests that multiple types of neurons play a role in storing these memories. The research...

Microsoft Phi-3.5 Open-Source AI Models Released, Claimed to Outperform Gemini 1.5 Flash, GPT-4o Mini
Microsoft released the family of Phi-3.5 artificial intelligence (AI) models on Tuesday, as the successor of the Phi-3 models introduced in April. The new release comprises Phi-3.5 Mixture of Experts (MoE), Phi-3.5 Vision, and Phi-3.5 Mini models. These are instruct models, so they will not work as a typical conversational AI but will require users...
